A/N: Ok, here's the next chapter of this story!

True Identities

"You… you are…"

"What? I'm Danica Black! I... I can't be Hermione Granger!"

"You don't remember it all yet?"

"I've only seen bits of her life!"

"No, your life." Ron stood and touched Danica's shoulder.

"Ahh." Her breathing became uneven as she cringed from the jolt of pain sent from head to toe. This was it! It was stronger. It was taking her over now. She fell to the ground.

Memory

"I'm going to become Danica Black. I won't remember you anymore. But, I'll escape my father… my past. I'll really miss you," Hermione began to cry as she hugged Harry and Ron.

"It's time to go," Dumbledore appeared.

"One moment, sir," she turned to Harry and Ron, "tell Ginny, please."

End Memory

The Memory had ended but Danica lay still in the trance.

"We have to get Dumbledore!" Ginny screamed.

"I'm here." He appeared from nowhere, "what is wrong?"

"She, she went in to a trance or, or something and she hasn't come out!"

"I knew this would happen but I didn't expect it so soon!" He levitated Danica and walked briskly to the hospital wing. He laid Danica on a bed.

"Miss Pomfrey… Madam Pomfrey!" Ron banged on the door of her private office.

"What, what?" The door opened.

"It's Hermione!"

"What's happening, Albus?"

"The memory charm is failing! She's too strong and can't live a fake life! She's been exposed to her old life and wants it back! Hermione is fighting her way back! Is all we can do is wait."

Harry, Ron, and Ginny sat in chairs directly next to Hermione. They fell asleep. Madam Pomfrey had fallen asleep in her office and Dumbledore sat wide-awake in a chair on the other side of Hermione.

---------

A while later, she began to levitate above her bed. Her body shook violently. She let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"What's happening to her?" Ron panicked.

"It's almost through!" Dumbledore was quite calm.

And, the shaking stopped. Hermione plopped onto the bed below. Her eyes fluttered open.

"You're okay!" Ron, Harry, and Ginny pounced on her.

"Guys… I can't breathe!"

"Oh, right!" They backed away sheepishly.

"Good to see you, Miss Granger. You were deeply missed." Dumbledore said.

"Well, I learned a bit about some people…." She smiled.

"Yes, I do believe so."

"What time is it, sir?"

"Nearly seven."

"Oh, dear, you guys, meet me in the Great Hall. I have something to do…."

"Ok," the three said in unison.

Hermione ran through the halls to the heads dormitory.

She stopped just before the door and calmed herself.

"Beauty."

She walked in and stood by the door. Draco was on the couch. He jumped up.

"Are you okay?"

"That depends on ok… um, do you remember what the sorting hat said while on me?"

"No."

"About a memory charm I had?"

"Oh, yea."

"And, well, I remember what I forgot!" She pulled out her remembrall only to see no smoke when she squeezed it, "and, before I say this, do you love me Draco?"

"Yes, what did you forget?"

"Draco, I love you but I feel that you will hate me after this."

"I couldn't!"

"I'm Hermione Granger!"

"What?"

"Yea…"

He punched the wall, leaving a hole, and stormed to his room. She could hear him fly off.

She looked down and walked to the Great Hall.

A/N: Ok, was that good? It was short though... Oh well.
